Ditto Thumbs Up ex Regimental rally one at that, so actually was tuned up rather than tuned down Laughing I think the roll cage was the main reason, to prevent to many people getting squashed if it rolled in the lanes of Dorset Sheep Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

Interesting to see already that some overseas driving schools use proper cars, whereas we seem to be limited to Metros, Allegros, Fiestas etc here in the UK Rolling Eyes

Ireland 

First introduction to driving was up & down our driveway in my dad’s Merc 280SE back sometime around 1974. It was an auto, so I didn’t have to fuss with a clutch, which was great.

My first experiences of driving on the public the road was in a Toyota Corolla estate. Driving without a licence, underage, under my dad’s supervision, on the country roads around where we live. In Ireland back in the late seventies, early eighties you could quite comfortably do those sort of things, with no worries at all.

I subsequently rammed the Corolla headfirst into a tree on our driveway at 60Mph, while out “testing” one night. Boy was I in trouble for that I can tell you Shocked

For my own car & driving on a provisional licence, I had a series (well 2 actually) of hand-me-down VW Golf diesels, until I got my own, brand spanking new two door golf diesel, which over time I cloned to look exactly like a GTi. This is the car that I then passed my test in, first time round, at a guess around the 1981/2 timeframe.
